Northern Virginia 10th planet group

My name is Derrick, I would like to find people in the Northern Virginia area that want to learn and practice 10th planet techniques. I have experience with nogi. I have Eddie's books, plus the extreme wealth of information that is available to us through this website! I have mats (a 10x10 area). Message me and we can set up a time, hopefully get something continuous going! Thanks!

Hey Derrick, I live down in Fredericksburg but work at Quantico, so I'm right around the corner 5 days a week. I'd love to get some practice in sometime soon. Unfortunately I popped a rib last week so I think I'll have to take some time for recovery. The rib is still poking out a little and i don't want to make it worse.

On another note, are you familiar with the youtube channel Street Beefs? If not, it's a Virginia based fight club, and they're holding a nogi grappling event Sept 8. Apparently it's inspired by Eddie Bravo's combat jiu jitsu ruleset, which allows for open palm strikes on the ground. Could be a lot of fun!

Me and my best friend also live in downtown Fredericksburg and wouldn't mind getting together with some grapplers off the fourms.

Did you guys get a group together? I’m at Quantico and would like to jump in on this. I currently train on base. We have a group there that go Mon, Wed and Saturday. But we primarily do Gi. The only time I get to work 10p concepts is when I travel to Sandiego twice a year for work. Wish I could train more. I’m a purple in Gi. So I have a solid foundation.

Hey Derrick,
I'm really happy to see this post, it seems crazy that there isn't already a 10th Planet Virginia/Maryland/DC location. But I'm from Leesburg, currently living/working/training in Charlottesville and I would absolutely be up for training 10th Planet techniques as I'm also reading my way through Eddie's books. Please let me know or keep me in the loop!
